Take Precautions to Prevent Lead Exposure

Prevention is better than a cure when it comes to lead. Taking precautions is crucial to avoid lead exposure. Contact a nearby lead inspector. They will give you an accurate assessment and fill you in on the next steps to take depending on what they find.

Meanwhile, there are a couple things you can do to make your home and yard safer for your children. Make sure that they aren’t near any chipping or peeling paint. Have them wash their hands and toys regularly. Separate living and play areas from lead sources, mop your floors and wipe windows regularly, and avoid letting your kids play on bare soil … give them a sandbox with clean sand instead!
